CLASSROOM TO REOPEN WITH A NEW FLOOR

A portable classroom at J.P. Taravella High School, shut down last week after asbestos was discovered, will reopen after the floor is replaced, a Broward County school district spokesman said on Monday.

"It was not airborne," school spokesman Joe Donzelli said of the asbestos.

"It was only in the tile floor," Donzelli added.

The room, which housed a psychology class, was shut down on June 6, Donzelli said.

Air quality reports returned on Monday indicated the room was safe to occupy, he said.

Donzelli said the portable was the only one affected at the school at 10600 Riverside Drive.
